METHOD AND APPARATUS TO FACILITATE CREATING ANCILLARY INFORMATION REGARDING ERRORED IMAGE CONTENT

摘要

Pixels in a provided image for which the content has been provided (301) in error are identified (302). This image content is processed (303) to provide a version of the image wherein the error is at least partially concealed while also creating (304) ancillary information regarding the errored pixel(s) and the spatial location to which such pixel(s) corresponds to thereby provide a record that describes which pixels in the image content were provided in error. An optional user-selectable option (305) can permit displaying either of the aforementioned corrected version of the image wherein the error is at least partially concealed and a version of the image wherein the ancillary information is used to depict the errored pixel(s) such that provided-in-error pixels are readily distinguished from correctly-provided pixels.
